Chapter 414: Africa Raiders IV

"Don't say that, there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests, and we mercenaries have never been recognized by the international community, just trying to survive in the cracks of your big countries. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Russian government needs us to restrain Japan on the four northern islands, and we need the mineral resources in Russia. Wu Chen said.

"Even if you are still sober, you know that playing with these big powers is to seek the skin of the tiger, this mission must not save the US government money, the president and those core figures he nominated will step down in less than a year, and they are happy to make one more friend."

"By the way, the performance of the F-117A stealth bomber in the SAARC war was very poor, and the group of bigwigs in the military were going crazy with anger, and they were ready to retire all the remaining thirty, you can think about it!" Selena was definitely elbowing in and leaking such important information.

This is the benefit brought by Wu Chen's soul through time and space, in fact, even if there is no fiasco in the SAARC War, this kind of aircraft will all be retired in eight years, there is an F-22 Raptor fighter, this fighter-bomber that was in service seventeen years ago has become a chicken rib. In addition, the first large-scale participation in the war, more than 20 planes were actually damaged, and the face of the US Air Force was trampled into the ditch, and it was reasonable to decide to retire.

As a result, the presidential office soon received a report from the Ministry of Defense that the Golden Triangle International Security Company was preparing to purchase nine Leahy-class missile cruisers that have been in service for more than 30 years, and four Kidd-class destroyers that have been in service for nearly 20 years, as well as 30 F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers, including Maverick air-to-surface missiles, Hamm anti-radiation missiles, Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and guided bombs, as well as a large number of Paveway laser-guided bombs.

This is not counting, the Golden Triangle International Security Company believes that the 30 Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines are already obsolete models, and they must carry out large-scale transformation, not only to upgrade electronic equipment, but also to install anti-ship cruise missiles of the former Soviet Union, and for this reason, it is hoped that the US Government can provide $9 billion as the cost of modification to customize the missile vertical launch system.

"These mercenaries simply treat the U.S. government as an ATM, they want to buy everything, and they refuse to give money, look, it's no problem for those retired warships to give them for nothing, but these guys even feel backward in the Los Angeles class attack nuclear submarines, what kind of nuclear submarines do they want, this is the fifth generation of attack nuclear submarines of the United States!"

"You still want our Nighthawk fighter-bomber, you dare to open your mouth, this belongs to the world's first stealth bomber, which embodies the most cutting-edge technology in the United States, is the next step to be a Raptor fighter and a B-2 stealth bomber?" The president was a little angry in his office.

Why are you so excited? The Minister of Defense and a group of military bigwigs sat on the sofa as steady as Mount Tai, wanting the horses to run and not giving the horses grazing, how could there be such a good thing of only making money and not suffering losses?

Since the U.S. government wants to exert influence through mercenaries, it has to pay the price, otherwise you send your own army over, and when the toss is over, it is estimated that you will not be able to stop 20 billion dollars!

I don't dare to say whether American soldiers are the most combat-effective soldiers in the world, but they are indeed the most money-burning, and a soldier's individual equipment costs more than 30,000 US dollars.

"Mr. President, although the requirements of the Golden Triangle International Security Company are very excessive, but it is also excusable, those fighter-bombers performed so badly in the SAARC war that even the radars that people can easily buy from Russia can be locked, which means that in more than ten years, the development of radar technology is too fast, and the technology of these aircraft is outdated."

"As for the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, the missile vertical launch system is the general trend, and they are right to make such a choice, and in terms of anti-ship missiles, we are indeed not as advanced as Russia, as evidenced by the encounters with the USS Roosevelt and the USS Truman." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"There is no embarrassment in receiving the government's task, but the conditions are prescribed, which proves that we can exert sufficient deterrence on the Golden Triangle International Security Company, and at that time we supported this mercenary organization for this purpose, it doesn't matter if the mercenaries die, as long as we American soldiers don't die, it's worth spending some money."

"Therefore, I suggest that Mr. President approve this procurement, and be more generous, after all, a lot has been paid in the early stage, and at this time the efforts cannot be wasted, some retired backward equipment, there is no need to ask the mercenaries for money, I heard from the CIA that they are not very wealthy now, the so-called Golden Triangle Federation and the Andaman Islands, infrastructure is a bottomless pit, and it is out of helplessness not to give money." said the Minister of Defense.

Everything is derived from interests, next year will be a change of dynasty, these big people began to think about the way back, through the last replacement of weapons and equipment, most of them have got the resources they want, even if they retire, they will become directors of some large enterprises, anyway, they don't spend their own money, sell a favor to the Golden Triangle International Security Company, it is very necessary, no one wants to offend these guys who have no bottom line.

The president knows very well that the mercenary corps is simply an overseas legion supported by the U.S. government, and if he does not continue to support it, his face will be embarrassed, so the president submitted a military aid plan on the grounds that he asked the Golden Triangle International Security Company to carry out the tasks of the U.S. government.

The most important of these are the three, first, the reduction of the balance of the Golden Triangle International Security Company's purchase of stockpiled materials, a total of more than 40 billion US dollars, but the mercenary corps only gave one-fifth, that is, less than 9 billion US dollars, and the rest, the US government waived.

Second, the U.S. government will provide $200 million for each of the 40 nuclear submarines to be upgraded. Third, the U.S. government sold the remaining 30 F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers to mercenaries at a price of $10 million each, but they could not be transferred or sold without the consent of the U.S. government.

As for the issue of those missiles or bombs, there is no need to go through Congress at all, the military has a way to operate, and it is very common in the US military to make false accounts, otherwise how did the unclear $6 trillion in the war on terror be lost? What's more, this time it is not a fake account, but a change in the way of operation is put in a different way.
